A nice day in Tijuana - We had a great experience of Tijuana thanks to the nice and attentive guide Tadeo who himself was based there. He took us for a walk through parts of the city and shared his knowledge and interesting details. Very attentive and talked to everyone in the tour.

Excellent Walking Tour with Carlos - This tour with Carlos was excellent. He was very thorough in giving instructions about how to cross the border and meet him on the Tijuana side staying in touch with us the whole way via WhatsApp. It was clear that he has pride in his hometown of Tijuana and wanted to share that with us. He took us to three amazing taco stands/restaurants and told us stories and taught us about the local history and culture as we walked through the streets of the city. Going to the central market and doing a candy tasting were also highlights. Carlos encouraged questions and gave thoughtful answers. I thoroughly enjoyed my day with Carlos walking through his hometown with him and learning about Tijuana. I highly recommend both this Walking Tour of Tijuana and Carlos as your guide.

Perfect introduction to Tijuana - We are from San Diego and have wanted to do a Tijuana day trip for a while. Since it seemed like boarder crossing at San Ysidro was not complicated and the downtown Tijuana area is relatively small and appeared simple to navigate, I initially thought we would figure it out ourselves. However, I ultimately decided it would probably be better to go with a guide for our first time to the city and I am so glad that I did. Our guide was Victor and he was very knowledgeable about some of the history of the area and gave us a lot of options for great spots to visit. It turned out nobody else booked for the time/date we went so we ended up having a private tour. We stopped at several places for food which were all fantastic, and the highlight for me was tequila tasting at a small bar in the middle of the Mercado el Popo.

Extremely happy customer! - Service from beginning to end! Carlos is a very personable guide and puts his heart into showing his guests how much he loves his city. He is also very considerate of the individual needs of each guest. We walked around the old center, sampling spices in the market, doing a tequila tasting, and exploring the historical gems of Tijuana. I would 100% recommend this tour company and 300% recommend Carlos. Thank you for a wonderful introduction to Tijuana.

A nice Tijuana walk - The walking tour of Tijuana was incredible! Starting at the border, we explored the vibrant Avenida Revolución, filled with colorful murals, street performers, and unique shops. The guide was knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights into Tijuana's culture and history. Lunch was a highlight—authentic Mexican cuisine with fresh, flavorful ingredients at a charming local spot. Drinks were equally delightful, including craft beers and refreshing margaritas. The two markets we visited showcased Tijuana's vibrant arts, crafts, and street food scene, offering great opportunities to shop and interact with locals. A must-do experience for anyone visiting Tijuana!
